Washington and Lincoln...wiser presidents

"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth."

"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."

"When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen."

"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."

"Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light."

"Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

"Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse."

Quotes by GEORGE WASHINGTON

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."

"Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties."

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

Quotes by ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

How intelligent and how their quotes stand the test of time. It's only recently that people would scoff these quotes; how's that working for America? No, not too good.

"One speaks of the "profound injustice" of the social pact; as if the fact that this man is born in favourable circumstances, that in unfavourable ones, were in itself an injustice, or even that it is unjust that this man is born with these qualities, that man with those... The underprivileged, the decedents of all kinds are in revolt on account of themselves and need victims so as not to quench their thirst for destruction by destroying themselves... How can I help it that I am wretched ! But somebody must be responsible, otherwise it would be unbearable !"

Katherine...you don't have to worry about the worthiness of reading geeeeZ. It's not mandatory! Click on the other bloggers here and maybe their blogs won't smell like sewage.

Dave and FJ...There's just as much mischaracterization of who was responsible for slavery as there is who finally passed the Civil Rights Bill. I think we can all agree that nobody thinks slavery is a good idea today.

OFF TOPIC, I'm just hearing on TV that some schools which followed the new gov't guidelines for healthier cafeteria lunches are giving it up.Exactly as I predicted, the kids aren't partaking of it; they want a better selection of foods, not just foods they won't eat.Mothers said their kids were skipping lunch and going hungry and school officials were finding good food did get given to them was found in the trash uneaten.

"Dictators do not allow people to think freely or state their opinions."

That's why the One has the LSM doing his dictating for him. There is no truth in the media any longer...just them hawking for the One.

And as soon as the One eviscerates the second amendment...surely the First amendment must follow. Russia is a modern day example of a "dear leader" doing exactly that. And the One is nothing more than a collaborator and a Putin pupil.

There is no question, Dave, that for the sake of the children's future health, all children should be strapped into specially constructed feeding stations at the schools with their hands cuffed behind their backs, their heads held in a brace while large funnels are inserted into their mouths and government-mandated amounts of hash officially regarded as "healthful" should be slowly forced into their little mouths. Not swallowing would not be an option, because it would result in automatic strangulation.

They'd soon get used to it. They have to. After all, it's good for them, isn't it? Parents, of course, would have no say in the matter whatsoever, since parents are too stupid to raise their own children and government always knows what's best for all.

That's where you ideas would soon have us headed, Dave. Did I say say "headed?" Good Lord! We're more than halfway there already.

Katherine, on this, I entirely agree.The liberal heart in action ...UTOPIA MUST BE ACHIEVED.Liberals are anti-human nature. Or at least hate its vulnerabilities.It's an impossible path that we're all being dragged down.

Imp...I think this president's said "I" even more than Clinton. It has to be a record. Ego, smugness...so like a dictatorship. 'if Congress doesn't pass it, I WILL"

If there is a role for government to play in the up bringing of children, then it must be STATE government, not the federal government. We are first and foremost citizens of states. When the federal government acts beyond restrictions placed on its authority by the Constitution, then we are in danger of the federal government supplanting every one of the safeguards outlined in the Bill of Rights.

In response to that MORON HALF WHITE RACIST who calls himself "The Question Man"

Everything is racist now according to the libtards and the progressive bunch. Well, if I’m going to be called a “racist” constantly for opposing socialism and communism then I’m going to be the best god damned racist I can be.

Obama can plant a big kiss on my lily white cracker ass.

Anyone who voted for this Socialist Creep can do the same. I’m not giving up my guns, or my freedom. I’m fed up, I’m tired of this sh*t, and I’m not going to fight it anymore.

So come on Question Man you piece of sh*t. Tell your Messiah to just try and pry my guns from my cold dead hands. call me a racist, hateful, war monger. I’ll simply aspire to being the best racist, hateful, war monger I can be! I'm mad as hell, and sick and tired at these Black Racist's and I'm not going to take it anymore

Frog...I believe he means the state over the feds; not that it's a great idea to put our kids in state or federal hands, either.

I believe it shouldn't be necessary to ask "which kids are needing help?" It would take a drive around any city to know which schools need more help than others.

The problem is ; we are doing all we can at this point to make sure kids are getting fed for school.There will be no perfection that says "Now every child has something nutritious to eat every day." It's not going to happen.

So, when Conservatives see these ridiculous attempts at an all-knowing Government (knowing more than parents do), we bristle.It's not that we don't believe all children deserve a good meal.

Perhaps I'm missing something but isn't this, at least in part, about the epidemic of overweight/obesity? I seem to remember vigorous exercise during recess and after school. The issue of overweight/obesity was an anomaly back then, although we ate basically the same junk. OK, now I'm going to hear about all of the dangers associated with non sedentary,energetic activity; yada, yada, yada!

Jon, excellent point.I am embarrassed to admit I thought PE and ART were the two things kids could live without and it would help our budget to eliminate them.Now, I practically think the opposite.

We played outside, we could run or bike around our neighbors and we didn't worry about any dangers. The worst danger was being late to dinner!! We did exercise...we had fun in school with baseball, etc...

And, you're right..we ate even worse than kids do now, probably.

There will always be obese children; fat babies will always be born; it's often genetics. The large part of the children in this country are fine. Leave them ALONE.

And who's fault is that? There's only one answer and hyperbole doesn't fit here. I'm sick and tired of having to be responsible for other peoples inability to raise their own damn litters.

Sick of it. If I have to feed these kids...then I have a right to demand that these people are prevented from having any more kids to neglect. They're obviously incapable of doing what's right and responsible.

President Reagan ushered in the misguided era of massive deficits, bloated military spending and tax cuts for the very rich that America still struggles to this day to put to an end. Yet Reagan wrongly receives credit for the economic boom that began a few years into his presidency due to events entirely outside of his control. When Reagan took office, America faced double-digit inflation rates matched with a sharp spike in unemployment.

Federal Reserve Chair Paul Volcker, a Carter appointee, chose to break the first problem by exacerbating the second — driving up interest rates in a successful effort to break inflation. When Volcker finally took the brakes off the economy and ended the recession he created by lowering interest rates back to more normal levels, housing and auto sales took off, the economy boomed back to life, and Reagan rode the undeserved credit to a second term in the White House.

As Rosalynn Carter once said, Reagan made America “comfortable with our prejudices.”Reagan infamously began the final leg of his presidential campaign by traveling to the Mississippi town where three civil rights workers were brutally murdered and proclaiming “I believe in states’ rights.” Reagan ignored the AIDS crisisfor years. He gave us Justice Antonin Scalia. And he tried and failed to appoint another justice who once claimed that the federal ban on whites-only lunch counters is rooted in a “principle of unsurpassed ugliness.”

I'm sure they did as he was a Gentleman Farmer. And 99.99% of those farmers were not into abusing their help...so that they couldn't work the next day. It was counter productive...like unions and colleges today.

I know it's hard for a dipstick like you to imagine...but in those days farm help was essential to the economy and the only way to get farm products as well as cotton to the market...so that smarmy yankees could be well fed and stay warm.

And of course this was well before the days of John Deere and automation in the fields. Many slaves decided to stay on their homesteads as they were well taken care of well after they were freed too.

It's so easy for you peckerwoods to revise history and fit it to the 20th or 21st century standards. And I'd bet many of your smarmy ancestors were fed and clothed by the industry of that time.

Alas...the slaves today are very satisfied to stay on the plantation that the Dems have so eagerly placed them in..under the management of their current slave master...Bro Obama. With 96% of the slave vote...I'd say they're very happy to have a new master.

IMP, Got that right. The black folks who are Not upwardly mobile (7% ?), are quite happy to remain in chains mastered by the incompetent racist morons like obama, not to mention the democrats who have been the abusers of slaves for the last 300 years.

Hey Duck, tell us about how the democrats helped the black folks at Any time in history. And back it up with some facts. Hint: You can scratch the Civil Rights Act of 1964 right off the bat.

Cause the highly charged "slave" designation emotes responses like yours...as if all of it was brutality, beatings and all the other tainted crap from roots to django. Tell me...how could any farm function profitably and successfully if they so brutalized their HELP??? I don't buy this nonsense..it's pure propaganda, fiction and hollywood revisionism. I'm not saying ANYONE had an easy time of it in the 18th, 19th or even mid 20th Centuries. You think the Irish or Italian immigrants from the 1840's thru the 1920's had it any easier?

My point was just what I said...farm hands...help....todays illegals are the slaves...but you wouldn't dare say it, would you?

Nor would you comment on the FACT that 90% of them today...are still "slaves"...they sure don't get to stray very far from those Dem masters...do they?

And I'm talking about the ones in the CBC and NAACP...toe the line baby...toe the line. Now that's brutality pal.

You think the JJ jr's or seniors, the Waters, the Fat Als, the Rangles, the Jordans or Conyers give a crap about them???

Only so long as they to keep telling them they're still in "chains" and keping them all hating, hateful and riled up to fulfill their mission as poverty pimps and racial provocateurs. So long as it works to keep them in their cushy seats and glorious bling.

Slave masters come in all colors. And remember that the ones that put them on the market....were their own.

Oh...and it's Bobby Byrd and Al ( Jolson ) Gore Sr that kept the civil "rights" from Dem passage. It was those damn racissss....Repubs that helped it along. All the way back to the guy who signed the proclamation....Abe what's his name?

1.) tell us about how the democrats helped the black folks at Any time in history.

2.) Tell us how anyone in the obama administration, most of all that POS hildebeast that you'll no doubt vote for in 2016 did their job with respect to Benghazi :)

2a.) Role play for us and explain to the family and friends of the Ambassador and staff and the SEALS, not to mention REAL Americans who actually care about such things, how "IT DOESN'T MATTER". How the next POS you're going to put in the white house couldn't be bothered by the concerns, let alone lives, of Americans abroad.

Tell us about that instead of this vague wolfey blitzer talking point tripe you love to spew. Comment something real. You won't of course.Because you can't. Worse yet, this won't even embarrass you. You'll be back with the same lame nonsense day after day.You folks are a cancer upon decent society.

libgirl. Fox news? Good God honey I don't get dirty watching any of that claptrap.

Is that the extent of your visible universe? msnbc vs fox news? You got a long way to go before you bump your head on reality.

Say something intelligent and I'll give you a go, but as has been said too many times here, you offer nothing of interest. If you're real, good luck to you finding the capacity for critical independent thought, else-wise join the ranks of the new 'subjects' and hope you got air-bag, well, not really.

IMP, Libtards lives are just a series of disconnected "moments". Everything is all about how they "feel" at that particular moment.

Each moment has no requirement to be connected to any other moment through even some loose interpretation of intelligent accountability to their own collection of moments, or the history of the world. No Sah.

Nothing need to be justified by historical precedence, the scientific method (lol) or even getting two people to agree to reasonableness. Nooooo.

It's all about what *They* believe when *They* choose to believe it.

And if they do a 180 because it suits their purpose at that particular moment, no problemo. Free college is a Plague when their neighbors kid graduates high school but it is ludicrous to think free college isn't available when their little junior takes that step into post high school edumacation. Surely you can see that.

This is the exact explanation for why they go white knuckled over Bush taking a $300,000 vacation to the Crawford, Texas ranch, and are perfectly orgasmicly happy over the obama's taking an unlimited number of 2 and 3 digit Million dollar vacations anytime they want. Surely you can understand why it is necessary for the obama's to take two aircraft and two totally separate and duplicated enterouges of security personnel and vehicles right? So it costs twice as 2 digit million dollar bills as much, right? You can surely see that.

Because michele had a hair appointment and needed to leave an hour later than obama right? Perfectly reasonable. Right? Why can't you see that. Are you Racisssss?

"It's all about what *They* believe when *They* choose to believe it."

Don't discard those important "feelings" either Kid.they "FEEL"...we don't.

They "FEEL" for the indigents, blacks and the "CHILDREN"...all their antics are based upon the most immature, childish emotions....they weep, they wring their hands....never sitting back and using their so called significant 'brains"....they yell...they shout...they stamp their feet...they hold up placards....they have Code P(ST)ink and that pig Benjamin or Fluke that gets air time for their shitty selfish little diatribes.

They close down Capitols in their utopian states hoping to steal and rob more from the tax paying citizens to fund an "afterlife" of pleasure and leisure on our dime.

They easily resort to violence as documented time and time again in videos...they have the LSM openly lie and present their violent, criminal thugs as somehow justified...while labeling TParty average Americans as enemies and....and...get ready...Raciiiiiiisssssss.

They have absolutely NO shame...no guilt for being the runts, rats, thieves and commies that are ready to destroy the very thing that supports them.

Say it Ducky...you DO hate AMERICANS...real ones that wouldn't take a pee in your Utopia of incessant cry baby idiots.

And....so long as I have any semblance of the second amendment left...I and every other true American would invite you to try to attack with your ball point pens, butter knives or bats....while I and 10,000,000 of my fellow patriots... have a .223. Fooking idiots.

And 100,000,000 have what they need to keep you protected from fighting gang bangers, illegals and kepping them off your lawns when they see your...."This Home Is Gun Free" pleas.

Not that I would think about that for any longer than a second or two....you're on your own along with Duval, chucky and the grease ball cuomo and your savior from yourselves...the caloric mayor bloomturd.

Yes, the pre civil rights conservative Southern Dems who opposed progressives like TR were responsible for slavery and a good many if them were Southern Baptists.

The Southern Baptist Convention began moving towards desegregation in 1945, finally adopted it in 1954, and by 1959 was planning to open and run desegregated schools if state and local governments carried out their threat to defy federal desegregation initiatives by closing down public schools.

All of that and not one National Guardsman had to be called out to force it to happen. Find another scapegoat.

Ducky,

The Dixiecrats left, formed the core of your current southern strategy knuckle draggers.

Except that they didn't. Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, and Mills Godwin Jr are the only three Dixiecrat politicians who became Republicans. All of the other Dixiercrats (5 State Governors and 18 Senators) remained Democrats until the day they died. You might recognize their mark on current Democrat Party leadership:

The racist Senator J. William Fulbright mentored President Bill Clinton.

The racist Al Gore Sr. raised his son former Vice-President Al Gore Jr. in Dixiecrat politics.

One of the most despicably racist Dixiecrat Governors to ever become President was Jimmy Carter.

The late Klansman (Grand Keagle) Robert Byrd was considered by his fellow Democrats to be "the statesman of the Senate."

And so on.

Southern strategy? What, Reagan won the South 16 years after the Civil Rights Act?

"I know few people under 40 who do Not think the constitution is an outdated rag."

I wouldn't be surprised one bit! I, further, wouldn't be surprised to find that they don't have one clue as to what it even is. For the first time in my life, I'm glad to be old and not likley to see what, in the #e!!, is in store. I submit that it isn't going to be pretty! These little morons actually think that they are educated-OMG!!!!

IMP, Thanks for the correction. Feelings, nothing more than feeeeelllings. Is what the libtards are.

They will actually use their feelings to take diametrically opposed viewpoints to their own viewpoints 10 seconds after they offer up one of their viewpoints.

They are a swirling mass of nothing. If wolfey blitzkreig or al sharptone, or perez hilton didn't give them their marching orders everyday, they wouldn't have a clue what to type when they visited the blogs! ;-)

Seriously.

And the country is going to get their fill of being ruled by evil corrupt imbecilic little children. We won't start it, but are more than capable of finishing.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away fromextinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must befought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day wewill spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children whatit was once like in the United States where men werefree." -- Ronald Reagan

President Obama has done such a horrible job with the economy and foreign policy that now Kenyans are accusing him of being born in the United States :-)

important reminders:

We are surrounded by IDIOTS...Mr. Z

“Barack Obama's political genius is his ability to say things that will sound good to people who have not followed the issues in any detail —regardless of how obviously fraudulent what he says may be to those who have. Shameless effrontery can be a huge political asset, especially if uninformed voters outnumber those who are informed.” Thomas Sowell.........AMENTolerance is the last virtue of a dying society.
